The inaugural event at the Granite City, which will be hosted at BHGE from 4-6 September 2018, will run on alternate years to the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Offshore Europe event.

ENGenious is being programmed and organised by SPE and Reed Exhibitions, the partners behind SPE Offshore Europe.

The first event will draw exhibitors, speakers and delegates from around the world and will focus on four main topics: Automation & Control Systems, Data & Analytics, Robotics and Smart Communications.

ENGenious 2018 will be chaired by Matthias Heilmann, chief digital officer at Baker Hughes, a GE company, and BP's head of upstream technology, Ahmed Hashmi, will vice chair.

Mr Heilmann said: “With content highlighting the latest reservoir, drilling and production software and technology innovations, this event is led by the industry for the industry to enable discovery, learning and discussion.

“Differentiated from other ‘Industrial Internet of Things’ or technology-driven events, ENGenious will provide deep technical content, and provocative forward-looking strategy discussions to move the upstream industry into the digital industrial era.”

Gareth Rapley, ENGenious exhibition director, said: “ENGenious will be delivered by the team behind SPE Offshore Europe and Aberdeen was the global location of choice.
